Over 90% of those deaths are Americans.

    Unlikely, it remaina a reportable disease in the UK. We’re about 1/6 the population of the US yet we’re not getting 1/6 of the deaths. Most of Europe will also closely monitor covid deaths and the population of europe as a whole is over twice that of the USA.

    I suspect one reason more people are dying in the US is because more people.refused to get vaccinated during the pandemic? And if those people are disproportionatelt more elderly (because elderly people tend to be more conaervative) then they are also more vulnderable to dying from covid when they get it.

      Still, we are talking about 90+% for 4ish% of global population. It’s not school shootings, these numbers should be outlandish for everyone
